"With E3 and GDC coming up this year there is a very good chance that a PSP 2 will be annonced, but what can Sony do this time around to revive the PSP as a strong brand?"
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Would love a touchscreen PSP, may actually fork the money out for it, as long as it has graphics power greater than the PS2.
they need to make it unhackable. and allow apps just like apple.
no touch screen fs give us a nice big OLED screen high res and lots of features and dual analog sticks
Of that website. :)
Just keep the D-pad and game buttons. It needs to be as light and thin as the PSP-3000 series, and that's not going to happen with the inclusion of true analog sticks.
In fact, the Nintendo DS works just fine without an analog stick. A full-fledged touch screen would be great though, as well as a higher resolution screen. Maybe 800x400 resolution. Internal flash memory (128 GB) would bode well.
It'd be nice if the PSP 2 had a slot-loading drive like the PS3, and if the UMDs used for games used the special coating used to make Blu-ray discs scratch/smudge resistant. Say what you will about the UMD format, but it's cheap and allows for quick distribution of game titles. But having the option to simply purchase all your games online, store them on your PC, and run them on your PSP 2 without worrying about carrying hard copies with you is definitely an enticing idea.
A PSP2 with absolutely no disc drive would be pretty revolutionary, and give it a big advantage over the Nintendo DS in that respect.
